I have nearly the same shandy with breakfast every xmas morning - family tradition - Pint of Guiness & Champagne (black velvet) Mmmmmmm :chug:

Or in the evening, some "black pussy" = Guiness & port...

Cheers Ross

Do you drink the Guiness & port before the black pussy or after?

Cheers,

...is a drink once quite popular in New Zealand, a mixture of stout and lemonade or stout and a dash of raspberry.

Pumpy.

I think if you add the dash of raspberry you have to start batting with the other team. :lol:

Pumpy,Ross, & warren63,

Never tried the Guinness shandy (Portergaff) or the Guinness with champagne or even the fabulously named "Black Pussy" but will give them a go at the earliest opportunity.

:beer:

Pete Ross and Warren and other poor lost brewing souls ,

I thought I would verify Rosses claim to the ingredients of 'Black Pussy' by entering those words into Google 'this was my first big mistake, the second was to go and fetch a beer .

Just spent the last half an hour explaining to certain family members why I had entered a search to bring up all manner of scary Porn sites

I don't mind shandies as long as the lemonade is replaced with cider. Can't beat an ice cold snake bite on a hot summers day. Ross, I thought a Black Velvet was Guiness and Cider mix? I suppose depends on where in England you are from. We couldnt afford champagne in Lancashire

No shandies here.

A pack of Viscount 10's and a longneck each when i was 10-11...er I mean 17-18.

Spot on - was known as the poor mans black velvet

Always drank beer with a dash of Sars in the 60s/early 70s. Bit girly I suppose but a great summer drink. For winter we used to have a real mans drink - Open a stubbie, drink it down to the top of the label then top up with Green Ginger Wine. Does anyone remember that mix?

Almost forgot you Screwtop
I've had the Stone's Green Ginger Wine in my youth but not the way you have described. I am still partial to a beer with a dash of sars on a hot day.

:beer:

I love stones and beer! and stones straight for those winter nights!

Actually you guys have inspired me might go buy a bottle of stones for christmas day!

 

[tangent]

go the stones-mac, it's got an extra ooomph

i used to drink rasberry cordial in my beer when i moved to ADL. didn't like the taste of draught and the red stuff sent me off like a rocket
before i'd drink home made coopers stout or cider mixed with stout
it lasted for about 12 months and near the end i was downing 750mls of rasberry cordial a night. the dayshift barmaid could tell how much of a night i'd had before from the cordial levels she had to replace the next morning.

i'm over that and found grain

 

[Screwtop]

Screwtop.... is that 'stones' you are talking of.?
i remember having a session with that mixed into VB's.. obviously quite an improvement.

Yep, Stones Green Ginger Wine, makes any megaswill into Super Magaswill.

Big D,
Does it taste like shandy?
Would be ok if it did, I guess?
:chug:

 

[Doc]

Stones Green Ginger Wine with lemondae used to be an old student drink (when I was a student) because it was cheap.
That and Purple Death (basically Blackberry Nip) with lemonade.
Ah the memories of being a pour Uni student
